It's not Campbell's policy that disregards the ALR, it's the courts who've said that the ALR should not have been set up in the first place without discussing it first with our First Nation's people.<BR/><BR/>It's a classic which comes first; the chicken or the egg?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-69940003846753286742007-08-08T16:19:00.000-07:002007-08-08T16:19:00.000-07:00So that makes a couple of folks who are either pol...So that makes a couple of folks who are either polticians now or aspire to be politicians later, with the same opinion. <BR/><BR/>Sorry folks, no negotiator for any band wanted to get some nearby ALR land to be removed for part of their aquired land are going to agree to let the Tsawassen mix up be a one shot deal. "Hey they got exclusions we want it as well". Human nature at its finest.<BR/> <BR/>The old story about all bands being different and no treaty is a template is just some folks blowing smoke. Personally if I was working for a band and heard politicians saying they would really NOT like the Tsawassen mix up to occur again, I would shake my head in wonderment about the thinking of such folks. Gordon Campbell changed the ALR policy, without much regard to anyone else. The Opposition leader said she and her caucus would agree to the decision, but please Gordon don't do it again. Snickers are heard on the subject. The best thing for her was to change her mind again and say "No way will we support the loss of ALR land" sure the party wants treaties but not at any cost. And let the results fall where they may. Will she do it? I still believe in the tooth fairy and sometimes Santa Claus. Whena party has no seats at all, their candidates can say what they wish to troll for votes. DLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
